Another 1,000 feet or so and the power will come to a stop and wait for nearly two hours while the Valmont coal train switch on the main ahead.

Fortunately, the southbound ahead of this train will roll up its warrant to MP 17, allowing this manifest to continue without stopping through Boulder.

In this telephoto shot, you can see the Longmont Turn coming down a slight hill just north of Boulder. Foothills Parkway is the overpass just visible in the background.

It's nice when "the norm" is broken every once in awhile...true, they are still all C44-9W's, but at least all three are on the point!

The train is relatively short today, with only 39 cars. This curve is at the south end of the Diagonal, where CO-119 and Foothills Parkway merge. I particularly like the trees along the tracks to the right. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Every so often, though, you'll get a really unique consist on the point of a train. Such was the case here as two warbonnet SD75M's and a CEFX SD60 (of Soo heritage) lead the MDENLAU north out of Boulder. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The last day of summer saw clear skies and temperatures in the 70's and 80's. Two days later, temperatures are in the low 50's and it is raining. The northbound HDENLAU, with some nice power, is seen here racing north out of Boulder. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The lead unit was BNSF 9798, so I though an SD70MAC would be a nice change of pace. Turns out I doubly surprised as two green and cream SD70MACs were the only power on the train, the Longmont Turn. The train is crossing 47th Avenue at MP 32, and I'm standing on the Foothills Parkway overpass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

On this particular trip, only the rails on curves were being ground. The grinder was skipping right over the straight stretches.

In fact, the power was extremely unique, with a BNSF warbonnet leading, followed by brand new KCS SD70ACe (#4009) and the BNSF 7920. The train is on the approach to Boulder here, about a half mile north of the Foothills Parkway overpass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
